In "The Most Dangerous Game," onomatopoeia is used to create suspense and tension in the story. For example, the sound of gunshots and animal cries ("crack," "roar," "splash") mirrors the action and intensity of the hunting scenes. These sound words help to immerse the reader in the thrilling and dangerous atmosphere of the story.

Both "Animal Farm" and "The Most Dangerous Game" explore themes of power and control. However, "Animal Farm" focuses on corruption of power and revolution, while "The Most Dangerous Game" delves into the moral and ethical implications of the pursuit of power and dominance. Both stories ultimately serve as cautionary tales about the dangers of unchecked ambition and authority.
An example of flashback in The Most Dangerous Game is when Rainsford is being hunted and he thinks back to a time when he was in Africa.
